Mix s2/s0 on same network

If I mix 7wave 500 unathenticated devices with s2 authenticated 700 devices will they still mesh with each other to transport signals. I know that i can’t create a group association with each other but hoping I only need to group devices at the lowest common level in the same group and not across my entire network.

It’s fine to mix them. Repeater nodes will repeat any message, secure or not, as needed.

Cool, then I will continue to add 700 series devices. with authentication.
